All Chapters of SINFUL KNOT LUSTING FOR MY BEST FRIEND'S DAD: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Pearl“Where the hell have you been?” Harold exploded. He wasn’t exactly yelling at me, but his voice was cold enough for me to know that he was mad at me. “I went out for a run in the woods,” I explained. “I didn’t feel like swimming with the others. And besides, you seemed quite occupied with Vicki. I didn’t want to get in the way of that.”“So, you thought it best to disappear without letting anyone know?” Harold looked disappointed in me. “No one knew where you were. You should have told someone where you were headed off to.”“This isn’t the first time I’ve gone off into the woods. Why are we still arguing about this?” I was becoming upset. “I don’t want to argue with you,” he sighed. “I just wish you would tell me before you go traipsing away from the pack house.”“Is something wrong?” I furrowed my brows. “Something must have happened. That’s got to be the only reason why you’re blowing this all out of proportion.”I urged him with my eyes to tell me the truth. “Yes,” Harold

PearlThe one that Harold had been fucking. When Vicki said that out loud, it made it seem realer than it already was. Brian wasn’t the only one who knew. Vicki did now. “I’m right,” she smiled wider. “I already had my suspicions. I knew there was something going on between you two but I couldn’t prove it. But now, I know for sure that it’s true. So, how long have you two been fucking? Does Patricia know?”She grinned when she saw the way my eyes widened at the mention of Patricia.“I’m guessing she doesn’t. You’re screwing your best friend’s father and she has no idea. You’ve been putting on an act and lying to her for weeks.”Vicki laughed. It was like staring into the face of a stranger. She was mocking me. There was no trace of the nice creature she had been pretending to be for weeks now.“What do you intend to do with this information?” I asked her, because I was dying to know if she was going to tell anyone about this. “Surely you should know that making this public would rui

PearlBrian was staring at me with an incredulous look. There was also pity in his eyes. Something about that look made me feel teary eyed but I was quick to brush the tears away. “It’s not a big deal. Couples break up all the time. Besides, it’s not like a break up wasn’t in the works for us.”That was the mantra I kept repeating to myself, in a bid to make myself feel better. If I just repeated it enough times, it would finally click in.“But, you two seemed to be getting along so well. It makes no sense that you’d break up just like that.” Brian gave me a pointed look. “I know Harold, Pearl. He’s not one for impulsive decisions. If this break up was instated, then it had to have come from you. The question is why?”“I don’t want to talk about it.” My decision was final. Brian got this. He didn’t press the issue any further.“Okay. Well, it’s fine if you don’t wanna talk about it. But staying locked up alone and sad in this house isn’t doing you any good. You should try to get out

Chapter 37: Can I Come In?HaroldI had been having a bad feeling for the past couple of hours. No. It wasn’t because of the breakup. It wasn’t because my mind was occupied with thoughts of her.This was different. Not the stuff that heartbreaks were made of. Rather, it was more ominous.I checked the time on my phone. It was almost closing time. It wouldn’t hurt to clock out early. This way, I could get home earlier than Brian and finally muster the courage to knock on Pearl’s door.She had been holed up in there for days now. I knew she was barely eating. Cool had told me as much. Why I hadn’t done anything about it yet was due to the fact that I was still mad at her.Now, days later, my anger was receding, replaced by worry for her. I needed to talk to her. Didn’t a better explanation for why she was doing this. Both of us were miserable. It was quite obvious that breaking up wasn’t what we both wanted.I understood her fears. I knew she was anxious about Patricia not approving of

PearlI had never known real fear until that exact moment, when the bombs went off.No one had been expecting it. Not even Ethan and his crew. We all went flying backwards. My fall hurt the most, being tied down to a chair and all. When I hit the ground, I did so on my side and the pain that followed was horrible.I groaned and coughed up debris.Dust covered every inch of the warehouse, making it impossible to see where everyone else had fallen.Harold.My mind immediately went to him. Was he injured? Dead?No.I refused to think the worst. Not yet.I must have laid there for several minutes or perhaps it was a few seconds. I felt hands underneath me. I felt the cords being broken from my wrists.Was I being set free? Or were the kidnappers cutting me loose, in order to transport me to another location?“Can you stand?” someone asked. The voice was gruff. It was one I knew so well.I squinted in the dust until I could make out Brian’s features.He was here! My eyes lit up at the sigh
